I've been looking for a pair of Lowndes (benchgrade, last 348?), in size UK6. I'm in the USA... can anyone let me know where I purchase one without waiting 8 weeks for them to come and without paying a premium?

Too late... I picked up all the UK 6 I recommend e-mailing the UK stores. I have ordered from them a couple of times and if they do not have a UK 6 in stock, they can call other stores and get them. The thing is you have to pay for shipping (which was 30 pounds I think when I purchased my Somervilles a month or so ago) and risk duty fees, but it is probably the best way to get our sizes.

I have also pre-ordered from Pediwear for typical stock styles. You are correct that the wait can last months but if you are not in a rush, they have great customer service and free shipping.

Shoes - C&J Finsbury, Horween Shell, starting to take on a great shine (purchased November so far they've had one coat of Reno, one coat of Kiwi tan paste was and another coat of Reno and LOT's of buffing.)
Socks - Pantherella
Trou - Epaulet

I had my Northcote for one year and use them on regular basics but i have shoes i wear more often during winter. When i came home yesterday and took them off i noticed that the sole was a bit loose in the front of the right shoe. I was surprised to see this because i´m not a guy who wears out my shoes. I had sneakers when i was younger that i had everyday in school for several years... Anyway, below is also pics of one of the shoes i use very often, Loake Pimlico, and this shoe is two years old.

Is this "normal" or should i go back to the store with them?
